Album Review: Cass McCombs

I wish Cass McCombs had taken more risks and employed the playful humor of past albums in his second full length album of the year, Humor Risk. The album has all of the soft familiarity we've come to expect from Cass McCombs, with his understated and soothing sound, but lacks the overt playfulness of, for example, "Dreams-Come-True-Girl" (off Catacombs). Still, it's a good listen—it makes a relaxing soundtrack for long drives or casual dinner parties.
